Eventually the PS4 system will set it to the appropriate file system. Question, if i fully format the internal storage back to normal, will it stop heating up the ps4 as my ps4 shut down by itself as i can feel the heat at the back of the console where the internal storage is.

Hello, So i want to upgrade my internal hard drive from 1 TB to 2 TB, can i just copy the game from my old internal hard drive into the new hard drive with hard drive enclosure or i must re download all my game again?
Hi thanks for this amazing article! All signs point to issues with the hard drive which is unfortunate. I was wondering if there is any difference between reformating my hard drive with the methods in article via PC vs doing it through the re-initializing process through the PS4 OS.
Much appreciated and thanks again! The first method formatting on a PC will restore the original performance of the hard drive and eliminate bad sectors; whereas the second method will only erase data and reinstall the PS4 system software without doing any sort of maintenance.
Quick tech question: Which partition style should be used for drives that are 2. USB 3. My hard drive has so many errors on here. Crashed so many time corrupted database. Wanted to format so when 8. This article might help you. Got a question will format help if my ps4 is having trouble Goin into safe mode or is formatting a lost cause? Yes it will help in most cases not all. It depends on the level of damage your hard drive undergoes. Just make sure to perform a FULL format, not quick.
After doing those steps my default ps4 hard drive will run smoothly again? Yes, unless the PS4 hard drive is deeply damaged, then you have to consider a replacement for it. Do i have to format drive to fat32 as disk management only has options for exfat and after a long 5hr format its still not recognised by the ps4.
It means you have to initialize the PS4 and reinstall the system software. Yes, i installed the new software and the ps4 goes through all the set uo, but when it comes up with the logo at the end and should goto the first sign up screen i get a blank screen for a while then it turns off. You need to format the PS4 internal hard drive, as this problem means there are some errors with the internal HDD. My drive has 15 partitions in itwith the biggest being Delete them all and perform the full-format on one unallocated partition.
How long does the formatting take? If the hard drive has lots of bad sectors it can take hours. Have patience and hopefully it will end soon. Please help!! Sorry, can you please illustrate more on your issue? This is what you mean? Thank you for the help!! I also was thinking it almost has to be something like that.

There seem to be an electrical short within the motherboard circuits, especially those directly related to the hard drive. It can be also the hard drive that is malfunctioning. In this case we use an alternative hard drive to see whether it resolves this problem or not. If the problem still persists, we suspect the PS4 power supply. In this case, turn off the PS4 and unplug it from the power outlet. Wait 3 minutes before turning it on, and try again to see whether you have a power problem or not.
Eventually, if you try all possible solutions yet nothing work, you need to take it to a computer repair shop to perform a full diagnose with advanced tools and tests. I tried formatting the HD and followed every step.
But when trying to run the PS4 again after completion, the playstation logo appears on the screen and then the screen goes black with my power light flashing blue. Any ideas of what can fix this? As for your hard drive not getting formatted, please refer to this comment to see how to work around that.
One of our valued reader called Dan has almost the same issue as yours, and he just fixed it with an SSD. Have a look at the conversation here. Yes you must stop it and go directly to format, because this indicates there are many serious bad sectors that must be fixed immediately.
You mean you have tried to format it on a PC then replaced it inside the PS4 and it crashed? Please clarify so we can better help.
I have followed your guide and reformatted the PS4 HD. The new installation went fine and the PS4 booted into the welcome setup screen. The menus are still very slow taking minutes to progress to the next section time and date, country location etc. Once at the controller user screen, and after waiting 10 minutes, the PS4 would not progress from there. I could still access the restart menu so restarted but the console took ages to boot down and start back up again.
It has now just shut off. Crashing in game. Crashing on boot. Freezing completely. I hit skip after that. Got into the navigation menu and as I went to settings, the console black screened. In reference to my previous answer to your comment, if you can just take the console to a technician and ask him to open it and clear the CMOS memory he just needs to remove the CMOS battery then replace it after 10 seconds , then that will save you a considerable amount of money if it works.
However, I do notice that when plugging the power cord into the back of the PS4, there is an electric crackling sound that occurs when you first push it in and the connectors are not fully in contact. This sound stops when you completely push it in. Is this normal? Reading your guide on the power issues, yes I have also had the pulsating blue light of death. Also, much to my dismay, my son had been using the console whilst not having the power cord plugged all the way in.
I will try the CMOS and report back. I do notice that when plugging the power cord into the back of the PS4, there is an electric crackling sound. You should first plug in the power cord into the PS4, plug the power cord into the power outlet, then finally turn on the switch. The console booted up after checking the storage… again!
I guess the only option is to bite the bullet and buy a SSD and see if that works. I am sorry for that. I hope the SSD upgrade will completely fix that. Please provide us with your updates on this issue. Once you verify this and you still have this issue, it means your hard drive must be upgraded.
